**Assuming perihelion, the Sun would appear about 1°45' (1.75 degrees) across - "only" about 3 times larger than from Earth (0.53'). Assuming aphelion, it would be about 1.15 deg (1°10') across, or twice its apparent diameter as seen from Earth. | **Assuming perihelion, the Sun would appear about 1°45' (1.75 degrees) across - "only" about 3 times larger than from Earth (0.53').

**It's possible the Traveler changed the planet's orbit, but at this distance, it would take much more paracausal effort (unless those powers are so nonphysical that it makes no difference) to keep the planet from roasting than it would in its original orbit. (With regular physics, the planet would most likely be doomed.) It's also possible that the effect protecting the surface of Mercury from heat significantly distorts or refracts light at some point between the Sun and the planet, causing the Sun to appear much larger and less intense than it would otherwise. | **It's possible the Traveler changed the planet's orbit, but at this distance, it would take much more paracausal effort (unless those powers are so nonphysical that it makes no difference) to keep the planet from roasting than it would in its original orbit.
